I'm reading some very energetic comments saying it is ridiculous to charge money to download videos. I am not sure everyone is getting just how feasible a model this is. It may not recoup $470 million a year, but there are plenty of people willing to fork over a buck to support something they like. Look at iTunes. Yes, there are a lot of crappy videos on YouTube, but as a filmmaker using YouTube to distribute web series videos that I write/direct, I am surprised at the number of fans out there who want to throw a few bucks my way to help me afford to continue entertaining them. I am and will always be happy to provide free content on our channel. We are currently halfway through the Partner Program application process, and if we get the the point where we have the opportunity to add the option to download our videos for 99 cents, heck yeah we'll do it! People will be able to watch out stuff whether they pay, or not. However, the people who want to support us will be able to send a couple of bucks our way in exchange for the ability to download some of our videos. It's a great way for the community to interact and for viewers to encourage more original and high-quality content on YT. Hey guys.
